General Aviation Lever style TPM with Encoders
Add realism to your Flight Simulator experience!
In the box you will find one of the most exciting additions to your flight sim you can imagine. The GA351 is modeled after the actual controls on a small aircraft, and will greatly increase your immersion in the sim, as you can manipulate look-alike knobs to manage your aircraft functions, instead of using clunky and hard-to-remember keyboard combinations. You can control your aircraft’s Throttle, Mixture, and Prop Pitch with realistic levers that work just like the real thing, rather than using clunky keyboard keys and combinations.
The levers and knobs are easily removable (just tug them off), so you can change the order if you like, or even replace them with longer levers, or different style or color knobs. The levers are based on our V3 quadrant levers using a magnetic system that keeps the levers in place where you put them. The levers have a 90 degree range of motion, and are geared to utilize the full range of useful motion on the potentiometers.
Our potentiometers are high-quality, long life components that use conductive plastic, rather than the cheap carbon elements utilized in many other offerings. While the cheap carbon pots used in mass-produced controls tend to go bad after a few months, and introduce lots of nasty jitter in the control movement, out pots are designed to function for a minimum of 100,000 cycles, and will last for many years. We have products using these pots that have been in constant use for over 10 years, and are still rock-steady, with no jitter.
Our GA351TPM includes 2 encoders that you can use for added cockpit functions. They produce clockwise, counter-clockwise, and push-button actuation of digital joystick buttons. Use them to control lights, radios, etc., to give you more cockpit realism. Our encoders use our own custom control boards, which guarantee that they won’t miss pulses no matter how fast you turn them, unlike other offerings.
Examples of use are, Throttle, Prop Pitch, and Mixture (though you can assign them to whatever axis controls you like).
